Do you think your spouse changed after marriage?

I think my husband definitely changed after marriage, not in a bad way though. His mood changed once we had our second child. He use to be very serious and now he is more relaxed. I have been told by our family therapist that men are more relaxed and have less stress after they are married and have children. But for women it does the opposite and causes more stress and tension. I wonder why.Do you think your spouse changed after marriage?
Less stress? I don't get that one. With two kids you can pretty much get knocked up by his best friend, leave him and he'd still have to pay out the nose.





Not saying you would do that, but the fact that you can do that pretty much sucks.Do you think your spouse changed after marriage?
I am absolutely determined not to do it, but ladies be warned - if you do it to me I will seek an annulment. I think pretending to be someone you're not in order to ';trap'; a guy should be grounds for annulment and I will try to the best of my ability to follow that through if it happens to me.





However, it seems to me that marriage is an automatic relationship deadner anyway. No more fear of competition = no more effort to impress. A long term non married relationship means you still have to worry about possibly being dumped so you still have to work just as hard to keep them interested. That goes for both genders.
Depends on the spouse. My ex totally changed after we married-turned out his mother gave his family the silent treatment whenever she felt like it, and he decided to do the same thing to me. He also had hid that he had fits of rage, was a control freak, and hid his political views. I finally gave up once I saw his mom give his family the silent treatment for a week-she was in her 50's and still doing it. He didn't see any reason to change. Okkkk
Yes. He manifested a tendency to be extremely houseproud, and to be exceedingly annoyed by my lack of interest in housecleaning. This tendency had not shown itself before we married, even though we lived together for three months before marrying.
The answer is the same. You both are getting older and more mature. It makes a man more settled and happier, and more stress on a woman to feel like she is just as pretty or whatever.
My husband became a lazy unemployed bum after we got married. I'm sure he always was a lazy bum, he was just really good at hiding it until he had me suckered in. Thank goodness I'm divorced now!
Oh yes. In a bad kind of way.
No, he's still the same guy.
Men know thier life is over.....between the kids wearing them down and the wife sucking the life out of them, they barely have the enrgy to open a can of beer....women on the other hand start imagining problems to fill the empty silences they seem to have trouble handling....
